The Nature Preserve has been host to as many as 6,000 kids a year studying wetlands environmental issues. Mona Shores and Reeths Puffer School Districts are among those in attendance. There is no charge for the use of the Preserve, just come. It is always open. The Preserve comes to life each spring as over 52 bird species have been counted, turtles can seen laying eggs, and the trees and flowers are starting a new year and the water has many small invertebrates to be discovered.
